Chapter 3 The Eve of the Great Reform

The population problem is a long-term problem, which cannot be solved in a few days or months, and it will take decades or hundreds of years of struggle to slowly see the results.

There are many factors that affect fertility, including environment, stress, economic conditions, etc., which need to be improved little by little. Yu Yifeng hopes to increase the fertility rate to more than 5% in the coming period.

5%, which is not small, that is, 2,500 babies a year.

The two briefly talked for a while and decided to start with the blind date first. The blind date is simple and many people are willing to participate. Through blind dates, let these single men and women have the conditions to get in touch, get close to each other, get to know each other, and get rid of singleness.

Since the explosion of the earth, many people have been lonely, lonely, and filled with feelings of insecurity. They are eager to find each other's other half, and the blind date meeting is still relatively reliable, and it has been held several times, and the effect is not bad.

Of course, there are other ways. For example, try to balance the work environment between men and women, create multiple dating locations, and so on.

Alas, it's not easy to be a captain, it's a lot of pressure, and you have to think about people's singleness...... Leaving Xu Yunjin's office, Yu Yifeng's head was still thinking.

Next, it is necessary to carry out reforms in the environment, construction, economy, politics, science and technology and other aspects of the entire spacecraft, one link after another, and it is necessary to carry out many aspects at the same time.

Since waking up from a coma, he feels that his brain has become smarter and more powerful. He had long made up his mind that this reform must be carried out, and if it succeeded, people would take a big step forward in the fundamental system!

Whoever dares to stop it, then defeat him, that is the enemy of the entire civilization!

However, relying on his wisdom alone, it will definitely not be possible, and it must be concentrated on the wisdom of more people and the support of more people.

Now he is going to the home of the famous sociologist, Professor Sean.

There were very few sociologists and economists in the Noah's spacecraft, because most of these people stayed on Earth at that time. Professor Sean from Germany, because he was on an expedition to the moon base at the time, was lucky to escape.

The reason why Yu Yifeng visited him was not only because Professor Sean was a true communist fighter!

After graduating from his Ph.D., he left academia and worked as a construction worker for 17 years, speaking two "languages", one of which was the high-minded "teaching English" and the other was the simple and vulgar "worker's English".

In Xu Yunjin's words, although he believed in communism, he could not do what Professor Sean did, giving up his privileged office life and working on a construction site for 17 years, just to reach out to the people at the bottom and gain a deeper understanding of Marxism.

Huaxia itself is a socialist country, a transitional stage of communist society, and it is very ironic that discussing communist beliefs at home is an extremely hated thing.

Perhaps under the influence of the wave of capitalism, as soon as some people hear that you believe in communism, they immediately start to use a magnifying glass to find your flaws, splash your history with dirty water, and speculate about your life with all kinds of dark psychology, as if knocking you down can prove their greatness.

There are often words such as "five cents", "rabbits", and "tg" on the Internet, which are the vent of people's dissatisfaction with reality, and people do not understand the real communism.

Yes, what Yu Yifeng chose is communism!

It is not because his motherland is a socialist country, nor is he politically influenced like Xu Yunjin, but after careful consideration, he compared "capitalism", "nationalism", "socialism", and so on, and he really believes that "communism" is the strongest, most combative, and most suitable system for interstellar navigation.

According to Yu Yifeng's vision, if you want to become a real interstellar civilization, you must first achieve great material prosperity, and the development of science and technology cannot be shackled by the economy.

Think about it, if a human government wants to build a spaceship that is extremely difficult, at least 100,000 times more difficult than an aircraft carrier, but is still worried about money, then how can this spaceship be built?

It would have to be a government that was extremely rich in material terms and had a very high level of operational organization to have the possibility of building this spaceship.

The best way to achieve this, then, is communism......

Yu Yifeng knocked on Professor Sean's door, it was just an ordinary tin room.

"Please come in!" A middle-aged male voice came from inside.

Yu Yifeng entered the door and sat down. The room was simple, with only a bed, a few pieces of iron furniture, and a few books, very plain. He observed it for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Hello, Professor Sean! ”

"Hello, Mr. Yu Yifeng."

This must be a gentleman. Professor Sean was about fifty years old, his cheeks were covered with wrinkles of various shades, and his eyes were bright but full of vicissitudes. This must be a man of great faith and willpower.

"Professor Sean, I have a question for you, what is the fundamental driving force for the progress of civilization?" Yu Yifeng was also unambiguous and asked directly.

Sean pondered for a moment, and he was also very interested in the young leader. This young man has courage, courage, and wisdom, and has done the best so far. But after all, it is not known where he will take human civilization.

As soon as Yu Yifeng's question came out, Sean basically understood what he was going to ask.

"To be precise, it is the basic contradiction in society." "That's the standard answer in textbooks." ”

"Of course, there are other answers, such as the progress of science and technology, the change of fundamental systems, the improvement of human quality, and so on."

But there is another way of saying it, that it is desire, and desire propels the progress of civilization.

This may be better understood that desire is an instinct of living beings, something that is deeply rooted in the genes.

As the spirit of all things, human beings have endless desires, such as the desire to learn, explore, live in a better house, wear better clothes, enjoy food, and so on.

These desires have continuously promoted the development of productive forces, promoted national integration, and made progress in science and technology.

Human beings have conquered the land, the sea, the sky, and even outer space, the universe. Therefore, it is understandable that desire is the driving force of human development. ”

"So far, that's all right. But I don't think it is possible to bring humanity to communism by desire alone. ”

"Oh? How so? Yu Yifeng is colored.

Professor Sean was silent for a moment and explained, "There is a country on Earth called Brazil. ”

"It has the fifth largest territory in the world, a population of more than 200 million, has escaped two world wars, and has a unique geographical location, but it is still a developing country, and even has the possibility of economic regression, why?"

"If you've been to Brazil, you know God's preference for Brazil, and there is a saying in Brazil that God created the world in 6 days and Rio on the 7th day. This quote illustrates how rich Brazil's natural resources are.

Brazil has 18% of the world's fresh water, produces 1/3 of the world's oxygen, a large number of mineral resources, and countless tropical fruits. The abundance of resources allows Brazilians to live a prosperous life without having to work much. ”

"It is such a country blessed with natural resources, and it was a sub-developed economic power more than 20 years ago, and it is still like this now, with no progress, and even the possibility of economic regression."

"Huaxia is similar in size to Brazil, with far less natural resources, but its GDP is five times that of Brazil. Do you know why? ”

Yu Yifeng had an answer in his heart, but he still listened to Professor Sean continue.

"The reason, Brazilians, without the pressure to survive, is too lazy...... No matter how poor they are, they will not starve to death, which also develops their lazy character. When the market goes up, they get rich, and when the market falls, they get poor, and they don't even bother to pick fruit.

Of course, the government's poor organizational capacity, poor action, and corruption are also part of the cause. ”

"Human desires are endless, and no matter how rich the environment is, it can only satisfy part of human desires. Laziness, greed, and selfishness can breed in this environment.

Brazil is a vivid example of this, where people are not under pressure to survive and are not rich because they are too lazy. And at this time, desire has no way to move civilization forward. ”

Yu Yifeng nodded thoughtfully, "Then, a wealthy environment is more likely to lead to the cessation of civilization development?" ”

"The wealth a person can control is directly proportional to his qualities." Professor Sean pondered as he said, "The richness of a civilization is directly proportional to the quality of all people. ”

"If the quality of civilization is not high enough, extreme affluence, it will not push people towards communism, and it is more likely to lead to the stagnation of civilization. Why, because it's lazy. Laziness is an instinct rooted in human genes, and it is not easy to beat laziness. ”

"If a person eats what he wants, plays what he wants, then why does he work? What is the purpose of his work? Why doesn't he eat, drink, and enjoy life?

So, he was lazy, and if the whole civilization thought so, then the whole civilization would be so lazy. ”

"As a result, civilization will lose the momentum of progress."

Yu Yifeng's heart suddenly moved, it is true, if everyone is very rich, then why do they still have to work? This is a very real problem, and it is also the most difficult problem of communism.

"Professor Shaun, is there any solution?"

"If you want to get out of this stage and reach a higher level, people's ideologies have to keep up. Everyone must have ideals, goals, and pursue a career in their lives, without regrets. ”

"It's very difficult." Professor Sean said solemnly.

(This chapter looks a bit secondary, but it stuck me for a long time, and it took me a long time, and it still wasn't as good as it could be.) What I want to say is that after an interstellar civilization enters the starry sky, with the progress of science and technology and the abundance of energy, it should be very normal to be extremely rich. If a civilization is still worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation, why should it step into the starry sky?

The second point is that after being extremely wealthy, it is necessary to solve people's ideological problems, and civilization must be advanced in terms of its fundamental system, and there can be no problems such as internal division, and a civilization with an imperfect system will inevitably not be able to enter the starry sky.

I'll elaborate on this one in the third volume, but I'll start with it now. Today's chapter is this, a chapter of more than 3,000 words, because writing this chapter takes up too much time, so I won't change it at night, I'm sorry.

In the future, I may be mixed with some private goods, and my thinking about civilization, system, wisdom, etc., may not be correct, so you can judge it. )
